We'll have an election based on victimhood: Bernie's fighting the Democratic Establishment and those who don't agree with him and Trump's fighting the Democratic Establishment and anyone who doesn't adore him and . . .

Oh wait. That strategy sounds remarkably the same.

Same old, same old. Didn't work in 2016. But replaying it again for 2020 is sure to be the Eureka Moment.

Don't think so. We've seen this picture show before.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
